Review on St. Ives Apricot Scrub - Brightening

I've been enjoying better skin lately. I don't want to call my self vain but I'm really particular with the kind of product I put on my face. I make sure to follow the 3-step routine: Cleanse, tones, Moisturize. But twice a week I try to add another step which is to scrub.

There's a product that never failed me in brightening my face and making it feel clean and fresh. I've been using this product for almost a year and I never had any breakouts because of this. It's Ives Apricot Scrub, yes indeed. This was introduced to me by my classmate in college and fell in love with it from first use but never really had the chance to buy it. But now that I'm working, I don't mind spending few bucks as long as it will do good on my skin.

Here are the photos for you. Smile!





The packaging doesn't come cheap. It's in a squeeze tube so you'll have control of how much you want to use. It claims to brighten the skin, not tested on animals and 100 percent natural extracts which is good. Who doesn't like natural anyway? I love that it smells great even after washing the face. It smells fruity, I would say that it smells like lemonade. The tiny bits of apricot doesn't melt unlike other scrubs that I've tried before. I think that's the reason that it works in removing dead skin. A pea size amount can be used on the whole face and neck. You have to put it in an upward circular motion on wet skin.

Here are photos of how the product looks.



Have you tried this scrub before or any St. Ives product? Please share your thoughts.


Sincerely,

JOY :P

Milani Single and Quad eyeshadow

Hello pretties! How have you all been doing lately? I've been busy thinking if I should get a MAC eyeshadow palette or MAC brushes. But when I heard from youtube gurus that Milani have nice colors of eyeshadows which are pretty the same of MAC I went ahead and check google. Here are my top finds for you.  They call this palette Exotic Berries I think that it's because most of the colors in this quad have pink shades. I haven't tried wearing all of the colors from this one and I feel excited to show how it looks. I apologize if I'm not able to take swatches of this. My camera washes off the color when I took the pictures. My favorite color here is the second one from the first row. It has a nice silver color with a little bit of pink shimmer on it but not too shimmery. Next is what they call Sedona Sunset. I can use it when I want that neutral eye look. I also have few single eyeshadow. From left: Almondine, Sheer Sand and Desert Sun. From Lef...

New Bath Companion from Watsons

Who doesn't love taking a bath? I live in the Philippines where it's very humid and the temperature can go up to 60 degree Celsius or even higher during summer. I have bath-time essentials which I use on a daily basis. I just recently run-out of my favorite body wash from The body shop, I first thought of buying new ones from Daiso just to give it a try but I decided to check Watson's first. I know they have body essentials like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and even mouthwash at a very reasonable price. Some items are on Buy-one Get-one promo. Watson's carry a lot of different products from head to toe. I have tried their mouthwash and Hair Spa. I must say that they work perfectly the same as the other brands with a higher price tag because of the expensive commercials and advertisements. My husband and I still use their mouthwash until now. Here are my new bath-time companion from Watson's. I currently use this deep moisturizing ...

Maybelline Clear Smooth B.B Stick

Hi Lovely ladies! It's been weeks or month since my last post, I've been pre-occupied with a lot of things but I always kept thinking about this blog and my readers. It's a sunny Thursday today and I'm hoping all of you are having a good day. I can't believe how time pass by so fast. Today I'm going to review a product by Maybelline called Clear Smooth B.B Stick . I've had this for more than a month and I use it when I'm going to the mall or just at home. I saw this babe when I was already making a payment at Watsons. It got my attention because I've never seen a B.B Cream made just like this. I know BB creams are in liquid form like foundation and I've seen a foundation stick but not BB Stick like this one. Maybelline claims: Clear Smooth BB Stick is a multi-benefit product that combines the benefits of skin care, make-up, and sun block in a stick. It contains salicylic acid that helps clear away pores and imperfections, and miner...
